THERMAL IMAGING FOR WITHIN WAFER VARIABILITY FEEDFORWARD OR FEEDBACK INFORMATION

摘要

IR radiation may be used to examine substrates prior to a fabrication operation in order to adjust processing parameters of the fabrication operation, or to determine features of the substrate. A thermographic image may be collected and provided to a transfer function or machine learning model to determine processing parameters or features. The processing parameters may improve the uniformity of the wafer and/or achieve a desired target feature value.
